  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc Just bought this CR250 1992 and want to restore it

Normaly they have showa rear shock or am i wrong?
What would be a good gearing voor MX enduro?
It has now 15 46
I was thinking about 15-50 for allround


yes Showa is standard
WXE250 gearing stock is 14/48, but as long as your not in too tight or too steep of an area that should work
doing the math 14/48 to 15/50 is essentially a half tooth on the countershaft
 
I like the 14/48 combo but 15/50 would be good as well. Ohlins were available back in the day as they were a popular upgrade in Europe at the time. I would say that bike is a 1993 WXE model from looking at it.
 
Thanks alot for the explaining
The bike is from 1992 but maybe model 1993 that could be.
Some parts are hard to find but less rare as parts for my 90 and 91 bikes.
 
1993 production would have started in 1992. The forks with external preload adjusters were used on 1993 and 1994 models only. The seat, swingarm, and yellow fork guards also point to a 1993 model. I will say it is in excellent condition and 1993 models are a good all around bike.
 
Yes it is an CR250 from 1992 but they mounted the 1993 forks and headlight and taillight for road use in europe
This 1993 forks of showa with the preload adjusters are pretty good
